Cloud of logs
A subscription Telegram channel that pours out fresh stealer logs daily to paying members. Bulk access to victims, sold like a streaming service.
Why it matters to you
This is why "we'd know if we were breached" fails: your employee's device can be in a cloud within hours of infection, visible to hundreds of subscribers.
Where we meet it
Clouds are among the highest-volume surfaces we collect from. The subscription model is also their weakness: anything sold to hundreds of readers is, by construction, not a secret.
Connected terms
Stealer log
The complete output of an infostealer infection: every saved browser password, session cookie, autofill record and crypto-wallet file from one victim machine, zipped into a single bundle.
Traffer
The distribution worker of the stealer economy: drives victims to infected downloads via malvertising, fake installers, cracked software and phishing. Organized into teams with quotas and payout shares.
Partnerka
An affiliate program: the franchise model behind ransomware and stealer operations. The operator supplies malware and infrastructure; affiliates supply victims and split the revenue.
Mirror channel
The replacement a Telegram market opens before the original is banned, announced in advance and linked from everywhere the crew operates. Continuity as an operating procedure rather than an accident.

A marketplace that sells the output of one infected machine as a single unit: its cookies, saved passwords, browser fingerprint and time zone, packaged so a buyer can load the lot into an antidetect browser and resume the victim's sessions.
Carding
The trade in stolen payment card data and the craft of turning it into goods: testing cards, choosing merchants, shipping to reshippers. An economy with its own schools, slang and reputations.
Cashout
